These are examples of
my language development in Year 5, when I was around the age of 10. There are
examples of my handwriting sheets, my literacy book and my homework diary.
From my handwriting
sheets, you can see my writing was very neat as we were taught to use joint-up
handwriting as this age so we could write with a pen. Main focuses were on the
shape of the handwriting, as well as the size, the equal space, if it was parallel
and written on the line. Around this age, I have just started to write with a
pen so I probably tried to make my writing as neat as possible at this stage.
In the example of my
literacy work, I have written a paragraph on mountain forest animals. I can
link this work to Kroll’s stages as around age 10, children are said to become
confident in grammatical structures which is seen in my work as I use commas,
capital letters and even brackets. However, there are a few mistakes where I
have used capital letters after commas instead of after full stops – this is
something the teacher has commented on saying ‘Remember it is full stops and
capital letters who are in love not commas’. I feel by the teacher saying it in
this way, I and other students would have been able to remember the rule
better.
My last example is of
my homework diary where my reading has been recorded. As my mum was the person
who read with me/ listened to me read, she was the one who signed this book. I
feel as though I can link this work to Chall’s reading stages as at the age I
was at, I was supposed to be reading in order to gain new information. I feel
this is partly true as the books I was reading at this time were quite lengthy
therefore were based partly on gaining information as well as reading books for
entertainment.
